Gene,
I thought you were going to say Sand Hills 
though it does have a prevailing wind.... 
JC:
Up in the Sand HILLS at 4000 ft the wind comes from every direction. In that magical valley, where Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw bulit what many think is the greatest golf course in the world, the wind swirls and allows one to play each hole in every direction of wind with great regularity, many times on the same day. I have played the 216 yd par 3 third with an 8 iron early in the morning, 3 iron in the late morning/early afternoon and a driver later on.
There is no prevailing wind despite how Patrick the fox tries to mislead the reader.
He's a brilliant man with part of his brain in his tongue and on the tips of his fingers.
Because of this he types and makes statements without much control from his cerebrum.
He spins his web to pull in and hold the reader in a very convincing manner.
The inexperienced, those who read the words on this website to somehow cathartically try to feel what it might be like to be on a particular golf course, are easy prey.
Patrick gets a doctorate in bullshit.
Just look at his wife.
She is drop dead gorgeous. Patrick looks like he just arrived from a planet in another solar system.
To further make my point, while he was at the Sand Hills Golf Club golfing his ball he understandably always rode in a cart due to his recovering medical state.
Yet, Patrick has held firm that and Sand Hills is a difficult walk. Again, he rode so how much validity is there in his position?
Furthermore, he has stated the green to tee walks are "disjointed". How could he know this if he didn't walk???
Many on here have explained to Patrick that the green to tee distances are in most cases SHORT but he will have none of it. I have even demonstrated to him that the green to tee walks at another course which many feel is the greatest in the world, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, are longer and more disjointed (walk from 3 green to 4 tee) and more uncomfortable (think the walk up to 15 tee) than anything at Sand Hills.
Again, just silence from the man with the thinking finger tips.
And now this crap about the wind.
In fourteen years I have played the course over 250 times.
Patrick has played seven rounds of golf there. Incredibly, those four days were without wind. Nada.
Yet he is more of an expert in wind direction at the Sand Hills GC than any of us.
However, Patrick's ability to accurately (or inaccurately) dissect a golf course from an architectural aspect and his on screen persona differs from his real life presentation.
The man can flat out play.
He is fun to play with and is the ultimate anatgonist to play against in a match. You will never love trying to beat someone as much as you wanna beat him.
Despite his completely unyielding demeanor, his stubborness and his touch of arrogance there are few people with whom I have enjoyed playing with more, this greatest of games.
In other words, THERE IS NO PREVAILING WIND AT THE SAND HILLS GOLF CLUB!
And why are the fairways so wide.......
